## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

(-5) AIRCRAFT DEPARTED PARKING RAMP ON SCHEDULED COMMUTER FLIGHT TO READING, PA. TWO AIRCRAFT MARSHALLERS ACCOMPANIED THE AIRCRAFT WHICH WAS TAXING SLOWLY WHEN IT SLID ON A GLASSY ICE SHEET. AIRCRAFT SLID SIDEWAYS. THE LEFT PROPELLER THEN STRUCK A PARKED TUG AND BAGGAGE CART. TWO PROP BLADES SEPARATED FROM THE LEFT ENGINE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE AIRCRAFT RECEIVED DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE, PROP AND FUSELAGE.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
